The Mild High Club is a psych pop outfit led by Mr. Alexander Brettin, currently based out of Los Angeles, California. Brettin attended Columbia College in Chicago, where he studied jazz, and like many of the other club members, he originally hails from the Midwest. The bands sound is subtly psychedelic in a nonaggressive, atmospheric way. In September of 2015, the Club released their first album, Timeline. The album essentially sounds like you’re falling in love with someone in an underwater universe, if that makes sense. The psychedelic, lo-fi, jangle pop sounds of the album were created by Brettin’s use of his trusty 12 string guitar, a combination of chorus and delay pedals, keyboards, a computer, and a 4 track recorder. Last week, the Club released their sophomore album, Skiptracing. The second album still holds true to the gentle psych pop Brettin beautifully crafted with Timeline, but evidence of Brettin’s formal training as a jazz musician appears many times throughout the album. It sounds like Aja if the guys in Steely Dan were into doing lots of mushrooms. Skiptracing is exquisitely groovy all across the board, and shatters all the stereotypes of the cursed sophomore slump.
